狂风吹过,烟尘散开,燕天衡的手里,拿着一张符箓,全身的灵力如决堤之水一样疯狂的涌入,见了这架势,林轩的表情越发凝重了,这肯定不是普通的符。
A fierce wind blew, scattering the smoke and dust. In Yan Tianheng's hand was a talisman. His entire body's essence energy surged like a dam bursting. Lin Xuan's expression grew even more serious; this wasn't just any ordinary talisman.
lín xuān zì rán bú huì shǎ děng zhe duì fāng shī fǎ wán chéng , zhèng zhǔn bèi chū zhāo , rán ér jiù zài zhè shí , yàn tiān héng de zuǐ jiǎo biān què fú xiàn chū yī sī zhēng níng de xiào róng , tā shuǎi shǒu jiāng nà fú lù pāo xiàng le kōng zhōng , tóng shí dà hē yī shēng :“ hún pò , jiě fēng !”
林轩自然不会傻等着对方施法完成,正准备出招,然而就在这时,燕天衡的嘴角边却浮现出一丝狰狞的笑容,他甩手将那符箓抛向了空中,同时大喝一声:“魂魄,解封!”
Lin Xuan wouldn’t wait passively for his opponent to complete their spell. He was about to make his move when Yan Tianheng suddenly sneered, waving the talisman into the air and shouting, "Soul, Unseal!"
yī shēng páo xiāo , qún shān huí xiǎng , zhèn dé zhōu wéi de shù yè dōu pū pū pū de wǎng xià diào , nà fú guāng máng dà fàng , hóng guāng zhī zhōng , yī tóu hún shēn bāo guǒ zháo huǒ yàn de měng hǔ chū xiàn le 。
一声咆哮,群山回响,震得周围的树叶都噗噗噗的往下掉,那符光芒大放,红光之中,一头浑身包裹着火焰的猛虎出现了。
A roar echoed through the mountains, shaking leaves fall from nearby trees. The light of the talisman flared, revealing a fierce tiger enveloped in flames.
liè yán hǔ , bù , bú duì , tā de hún shēn hái bāo guǒ zhe gǔ zhì de jiān jiǎ , yīng gāi shì tiě jiǎ bào yán hǔ , yī jí jí pǐn yāo shòu 。
烈炎虎,不,不对,它的浑身还包裹着骨质的尖甲,应该是铁甲爆炎虎,一级极品妖兽。
Flame Tiger, no, wrong. Its body was covered with bone-like sharp scales; it should be an Iron-Shell Flame Tiger, a first-grade top-tier monster.
yǔ xiū zhēn zhě cóng líng dòng dào dù jié fēn wéi bā gè jiē duàn xiāng duì yīng , yāo shòu yě shì yī dào bā jí , měi yī jí yòu fēn wéi xià pǐn 、 zhōng pǐn 、 shàng pǐn yǐ jí jí pǐn sì gè děng jí 。
与修真者从灵动到渡劫分为八个阶段相对应,妖兽也是一到八级,每一级又分为下品、中品、上品以及极品四个等级。
Like cultivators advancing from Flexibility Spirit to Tribulation Transcendence through eight stages, monsters also have levels one through eight, each divided into lower, middle, upper, and top tiers.
líng dòng qī duì yìng yī jí yāo shòu , zhù jī qī duì yìng èr jí yāo shòu , yǐ cǐ lèi tuī ……
灵动期对应一级妖兽,筑基期对应二级妖兽,以此类推……
Flexibility Spirit corresponds to level one monsters; Foundation Establishment to level two. This goes on...
yě jiù shì shuō zhè tóu yāo shòu , shí lì bù xùn sè yú yī wèi líng dòng qī dà yuán mǎn de gāo shǒu 。
也就是说这头妖兽,实力不逊色于一位灵动期大圆满的高手。
So this monster’s strength is no less than that of a Flexibility Spirit peak expert.
lín xuān biǎo qíng yǒu xiē fā kǔ , zhè bìng bú shì shén me mí huò lèi de huàn shù , ér shì huò zhēn jià shí de yāo hǔ , zhèng què de shuō yīng gāi shì yāo hǔ de hún pò 。
林轩表情有些发苦,这并不是什么迷惑类的幻术,而是货真价实的妖虎,正确的说应该是妖虎的魂魄。
Lin Xuan's expression turned bitter. It wasn’t some kind of illusion but the genuine soul of a tiger. More accurately, it was the soul of a tiger.
méi xiǎng dào duì fāng jū rán yōng yǒu hǎn jiàn de shòu fú 。
没想到对方居然拥有罕见的兽符。
He hadn't expected his opponent to possess such an uncommon beast talisman.
suǒ wèi shòu fú , yǔ zhèn fú yī yàng , shǔ yú tè shū lèi de fú lù , pǔ tōng de fú zhǐ lǐ miàn , fēng yìn de dōu shì fáng yù gōng jī huò zhě fǔ zhù xìng zhì lèi de fǎ shù 。
所谓兽符,与阵符一样,属于特殊类的符箓,普通的符纸里面,封印的都是防御攻击或者辅助性质类的法术。
A beast talisman is similar to an array talisman; both belong to special types of talismans. Ordinary paper talismans seal defensive or auxiliary spells.
ér zhèn fú lǐ miàn fēng yìn de shì jiǎn dān de zhèn fǎ 。
而阵符里面封印的是简单的阵法。
Array talismans contain simple arrays.
shòu fú yòu yǒu bù tóng , lǐ miàn fēng yìn de shì yāo shòu hún pò , bǐ zhèn fú gèng jiā xī yǒu , yīn wèi zhè bú shì pǔ tōng xiū zhēn zhě liàn zhì de , ér shì xiū liàn guǐ dào de xiū shì cái néng zhì zuò de tè shū fú lù 。
兽符又有不同,里面封印的是妖兽魂魄,比阵符更加稀有,因为这不是普通修真者炼制的,而是修炼鬼道的修士才能制作的特殊符箓。
Beast talismans are different, containing the souls of beasts, making them even rarer than array talismans because they aren’t made by ordinary cultivators but by experts in the Ghost Path.
jiǎn dān de shuō , jiù shì shā le yāo shòu yǐ hòu , chōu qǔ tā de hún pò , rán hòu yòng yī xiē tè shū de níng liàn zhī fǎ , jiāng yāo shòu hún pò fēng yìn jìn fú zhǐ zhōng 。
简单的说,就是杀了妖兽以后,抽取它的魂魄,然后用一些特殊的凝炼之法,将妖兽魂魄封印进符纸中。
Simply put, after killing a beast, one extracts its soul and uses special refinement methods to seal it into a talisman.
ér qiě yǔ yì bān de fú dōu shì yí cì xìng de bù tóng , shòu fú kě yǐ fǎn fù shǐ yòng , dāng rán yě bú shì méi yǒu xiàn zhì , měi cì shǐ yòng , dū huì xiāo hào yāo shòu hún pò lǐ de néng liàng , dāng hún pò zhōng de néng liàng yòng wán le , shòu fú yě jiù bào fèi diào 。
而且与一般的符都是一次性的不同,兽符可以反复使用,当然也不是没有限制,每次使用,都会消耗妖兽魂魄里的能量,当魂魄中的能量用完了,兽符也就报废掉。
Unlike regular talismans that are single-use, beast talismans can be reused. However, each use consumes energy from the beast's soul; when all the energy is gone, the talisman is discarded.
lín xuān céng jīng zài yī běn gǔ jí shàng kàn guò guān yú shòu fú de jiè shào , zhǐ shì zěn me yě méi yǒu xiǎng dào zì jǐ huì yù dào 。
林轩曾经在一本古籍上看过关于兽符的介绍,只是怎么也没有想到自己会遇到。
Lin Xuan had once read about beast talismans in an ancient text but never imagined he would encounter one.
kě pà de páo xiāo , suī rán shì hún pò , dàn jīng guò guǐ dào xiū shì yòng tè shū fāng fǎ níng liàn zhī hòu , wēi lì sī háo bù bǐ zhēn zhèng de yāo hǔ xùn sè 。
可怕的咆哮,虽然是魂魄,但经过鬼道修士用特殊方法凝炼之后,威力丝毫不比真正的妖虎逊色。
Despite being a soul, after special refinement by a Ghost Path cultivator, its power was no less than that of a real tiger.
yàn tiān héng shǒu wò fǎ jué , qīng qīng yì diǎn , tiě jiǎ bào yán hǔ huà wèi le yī tuán hóng guāng , zhāng yá wǔ zhǎo de xiàng lín xuān chōng le guò lái 。
燕天衡手握法诀,轻轻一点,铁甲爆炎虎化为了一团红光,张牙舞爪的像林轩冲了过来。
Yan Tianheng waved his hand with a spell and the Iron-Shell Flame Tiger transformed into a red light, lunging at Lin Xuan with claws bared.
xíng shì wēi xiǎn , bù guò lín xuān bìng méi yǒu huāng , jiāng shǒu zhōng de fú fā dòng , xiàng zhe kōng zhōng yī pāo ……
形势危险,不过林轩并没有慌,将手中的符发动,向着空中一抛……
The situation was dire, but Lin Xuan remained calm. He activated the talisman in his hand and threw it upward...
liú shā shù , gǔn shí luò , jīng jí shù , děng yī gòng wǔ gè dī jiē fǎ shù tóng shí qǐ yòng , rán ér jǐn jǐn shì ràng yāo hǔ de shēn xíng huǎn le yī huǎn , rán hòu jiù yòu jiē zhe pū le guò lái 。
流沙术,滚石落,荆棘术,等一共五个低阶法术同时启用,然而仅仅是让妖虎的身形缓了一缓,然后就又接着扑了过来。
Sand Flow Technique, Rolling Stone Drop, Thorn术… five low-grade spells were simultaneously activated. However, they only slowed the tiger's advance before it continued its charge.
lín xuān de liǎn sè yuè fā níng zhòng , kàn lái shì shí hòu dé dòng yòng líng qì le !
林轩的脸色越发凝重,看来是时候得动用灵器了!
Lin Xuan’s expression grew more serious; it was time to use a spiritual artifact!
tā zài huái zhōng yī mō , shǒu ná chū lái shí zhǎng zhōng yǐ duō le yī tiáo chǐ xǔ zhǎng de shéng suǒ , lín xuān kǒu zhōng niàn niàn yǒu cí , zài shén niàn de qū shǐ xià , nà shéng zi tū rán “ huó ” le guò lái , yíng fēng jiù zhǎng , zhuǎn shùn yǐ yǒu shù zhàng zhī zhǎng , rú dú shé bān , áng shǒu ér lì 。
他在怀中一摸,手拿出来时掌中已多了一条尺许长的绳索,林轩口中念念有词,在神念的驱使下,那绳子突然“活”了过来,迎风就涨,转瞬已有数丈之长,如毒蛇般,昂首而立。
He reached into his pocket, pulling out a rope about a foot long. Under Lin Xuan’s incantations and with the guidance of his divine consciousness, the rope suddenly came alive, swelling as it caught the wind, quickly stretching to several dozen feet in length, coiling like a venomous snake.
suí zhe zhòu yǔ , nà shéng suǒ fēi le qǐ lái , fā chū méng méng bái guāng , rú yī tiáo yǒu líng xìng de jù mǎng , zhuǎn shùn yǐ jīng yíng shàng le tiě jiǎ bào yán hǔ , jiāng tā jǐn jǐn chán zhù 。
随着咒语,那绳索飞了起来,发出蒙蒙白光,如一条有灵性的巨蟒,转瞬已经迎上了铁甲爆炎虎,将它紧紧缠住。
With the spell, the rope flew up, emitting a faint white light. It transformed into a giant serpent-like entity that swiftly approached the Iron-Shell Flame Tiger and tightly bound it.
suī rán shì méi yǒu shí tǐ de hún pò , dàn líng qì gèng jiā shén qí , tóng yàng kě yǐ jiāng tā fù zhù 。
虽然是没有实体的魂魄,但灵器更加神奇,同样可以将它缚住。
Even though it was a soul without physical form, spiritual artifacts were even more magical; they could bind it just as well.
“ líng qì !”
“灵器!”
"Spiritual Artifact!"
yàn tiān héng rěn bú zhù jīng hū le qǐ lái , mǎn liǎn yì wài , yě nán guài , líng qì kě shì fēi cháng xī yǒu de bǎo bèi , suī rán lǐ lùn shàng dì sì céng gōng fǎ de dī jiē xiū zhēn zhě jiù kě yǐ shǐ yòng , dàn qí shí jiù suàn shì mǒu xiē zhù jī qī gāo shǒu , yě bù yí dìng yǒu 。
燕天衡忍不住惊呼了起来,满脸意外,也难怪,灵器可是非常稀有的宝贝,虽然理论上第四层功法的低阶修真者就可以使用,但其实就算是某些筑基期高手,也不一定有。
Yan Tianheng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He looked shocked, understandable given how rare spiritual artifacts are. While theoretically, low-grade cultivators of the fourth stage can use them, many Foundation Establishment experts might not have one either.
yuán běn lín xuān yǒu nà me duō fú lù , jiù yǐ jīng ràng tā gǎn jué bù kě sī yì le , méi xiǎng dào jū rán lián líng qì yě yǒu , zhè ge fā xiàn ràng yàn tiān héng xīn zhōng tǎn tè 。
原本林轩有那么多符箓,就已经让他感觉不可思议了,没想到居然连灵器也有,这个发现让燕天衡心中忐忑。
Lin Xuan had so many talismans already; he found it hard to believe that he also possessed a spiritual artifact. This discovery made Yan Tianheng uneasy.
zhōng pǐn dān , shù zhī bù jìn de fú lù , líng qì zhè sān zhě jié hé zài yì qǐ , bié shuō sàn xiū , jiù shì mén pài de jīng yīng dì zǐ , bù …… yīng gāi shì zhù jī qī gāo shǒu yě bù yí dìng yǒu 。
中品丹,数之不尽的符箓,灵器这三者结合在一起,别说散修,就是门派的精英弟子,不……应该是筑基期高手也不一定有。
Middle-grade pills, countless talismans, and a spiritual artifact combined—this was beyond what even sect elites could have, let alone independent cultivators.
zhè xiǎo zi jiū jìng shì shén me shēn fèn ?
这小子究竟是什么身份?
What kind of identity is this boy?
rú cǐ fēng hòu de shēn jiā , tā bèi hòu de shī zhǎng , kěn dìng shì liǎo bù qǐ de dà rén wù , gāi bú huì shì níng dān qī de gāo shǒu ba !
如此丰厚的身家,他背后的师长,肯定是了不起的大人物,该不会是凝丹期的高手吧!
Such abundant resources; his mentor must be an impressive figure. Could he possibly be a Condensation Core expert!
yàn tiān héng yuè xiǎng xīn zhōng yuè shì hài pà 。
燕天衡越想心中越是害怕。
Yan Tianheng grew increasingly anxious as he thought about it.
dàn tā hǎo dǎi yě shì yī jiā zhī zhǔ , bìng méi yǒu yīn cǐ jiù luàn le fāng cùn , xiǎng yào chú diào lín xuān de jué xīn fǎn ér gèng qiáng le , zhè xiǎo zi rú guǒ táo huí qù , tā bèi hòu de shī zhǎng zhǎo lái , zì jǐ kěn dìng sǐ wú zàng shēn zhī dì zhī dì , wú lùn rú hé , yào jiāng tā jī shā zài zhè lǐ 。
但他好歹也是一家之主,并没有因此就乱了方寸,想要除掉林轩的决心反而更强了,这小子如果逃回去,他背后的师长找来,自己肯定死无葬身之地之地,无论如何,要将他击杀在这里。
But he was the head of his family and didn’t lose his composure. His resolve to eliminate Lin Xuan strengthened. If this boy returned, his mentor would come looking for him, and he would surely die. He had to kill him here.
bù néng shuō yàn tiān héng duō yí , shí zài shì lín xuān ná chū lái de bǎo bèi tài zhèn hàn le yī xiē , ràng rén róng yì hú sī luàn xiǎng , zì jǐ xià zì jǐ 。
不能说燕天衡多疑,实在是林轩拿出来的宝贝太震撼了一些,让人容易胡思乱想,自己吓自己。
Yan Tianheng wasn't overly suspicious; rather, it was the sheer power of Lin Xuan's treasures that made him imagine things, scaring himself.
suī rán xīn zhōng xiǎng yào shā le lín xuān , dàn zhè qí shí fēi cháng de wéi nán , duì fāng gōng lì yǔ zì jǐ xiāng bǐ , chà le sān céng , kě líng qì què nán chán wú bǐ 。
虽然心中想要杀了林轩,但这其实非常的为难,对方功力与自己相比,差了三层,可灵器却难缠无比。
Although he wanted to kill Lin Xuan, it was very difficult given his three-stage lower power gap and the spiritual artifact’s tenacity.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yě shí fēn ào nǎo , zì jǐ de fǎ lì hái shì tài ruò , jǐn jǐn néng cāo zòng zhōng pǐn líng qì , fǒu zé bié shuō cóng zhāng yǔ nà ér dé dào de jí pǐn líng qì bì xuě huán , biàn shì yòng zhōu yàn de nà bǐng shàng pǐn líng qì fēi jiàn , jī shā duì fāng yě bú shì shén me nán shì 。
林轩心中也十分懊恼,自己的法力还是太弱,仅仅能操纵中品灵器,否则别说从张羽那儿得到的极品灵器碧雪环,便是用周燕的那柄上品灵器飞剑,击杀对方也不是什么难事。
Lin Xuan was also frustrated. His essence energy was too weak; he could only control middle-grade spiritual artifacts. Otherwise, killing the opponent with a top-grade spiritual artifact like the Bixue Ring from Zhang Yu or even Zhou Yan's superior-grade flying sword wouldn’t be difficult.
liǎng rén dōu yù zhì duì fāng yú sǐ dì , yí gè pīn mìng de cuī dòng yāo hǔ xiǎng yào zhèng tuō shù fù , lìng yí gè zé nǔ lì cāo kòng zhe líng qì jiāng yāo shòu de hún pò chán zhù , yòu biàn chéng le jiāng chí de jié jú 。
两人都欲置对方于死地,一个拼命的催动妖虎想要挣脱束缚,另一个则努力操控着灵器将妖兽的魂魄缠住,又变成了僵持的结局。
Both wanted to kill each other. One desperately tried to free the tiger soul while the other struggled to bind it, resulting in another stalemate.
suí zhe shí jiān de liú shì , lín xuān sì hū kāi shǐ zháo jí , zhuā ěr náo sāi , rú rè guō shàng de mǎ yǐ , yàn tiān héng àn àn lěng xiào , duì fāng guǒ rán nián qīng , chén bú zhù qì , kàn lái zhè yī cì jué dòu , zì jǐ huì shì zuì hòu de shèng lì zhě 。
随着时间的流逝,林轩似乎开始着急,抓耳挠腮,如热锅上的蚂蚁,燕天衡暗暗冷笑,对方果然年轻,沉不住气,看来这一次决斗,自己会是最后的胜利者。
As time passed, Lin Xuan seemed anxious, fidgeting like a trapped ant on a hot pan. Yan Tianheng sneered inwardly; the boy was indeed young and impatient. This fight would be his final victory.
yòu guò le liǎng fēn zhōng , lín xuān yòu jiāng shǒu shēn rù le huái lǐ , yàn tiān héng liǎn sè yī biàn , duì fāng hái yǒu fú , zài cuī dòng yāo hǔ hún pò de shí hòu , zài tóng shí shǐ yòng zhōng jiē fǎ shù , bú shì bàn bú dào , dàn nà yàng fǎ lì de xiāo hào jiù tài kuài le , rú guǒ duì fāng de fú lù hái hěn duō ……
又过了两分钟,林轩又将手深入了怀里,燕天衡脸色一变,对方还有符,在催动妖虎魂魄的时候,再同时使用中阶法术,不是办不到,但那样法力的消耗就太快了,如果对方的符箓还很多……
Two more minutes passed. Lin Xuan reached into his pocket again. Yan Tianheng's face changed; he still had talismans, capable of using middle-grade spells while unsealing the tiger soul. It wasn’t impossible, but it would consume too much essence energy. If he had many talismans...
rán ér xià yī kè , tā de liǎn shàng què lù chū le zhēng níng de xiào róng , yīn wèi lín xuān shǒu cóng huái lǐ ná chū lái shí , kōng kōng de , bìng qiě xiǎn de yǒu xiē jīng huāng shī cuò 。
然而下一刻,他的脸上却露出了狰狞的笑容,因为林轩手从怀里拿出来时,空空的,并且显得有些惊慌失措。
But in the next moment, a sinister smile appeared on his face as Lin Xuan’s hand came out empty and seemed panicky.
tiān zhù wǒ yě , zhè xiǎo zi de fú yòng wán le !
天助我也,这小子的符用完了!
Heaven aids me; this boy has run out of talismans!
A fierce wind blew, scattering the smoke and dust. In Yan Tianheng's hand was a talisman. His entire body's essence energy surged like a dam bursting. Lin Xuan's expression grew even more serious; this wasn't just any ordinary talisman.
Lin Xuan wouldn’t wait passively for his opponent to complete their spell. He was about to make his move when Yan Tianheng suddenly sneered, waving the talisman into the air and shouting, "Soul, Unseal!"
Roar!
A roar echoed through the mountains, shaking leaves fall from nearby trees. The light of the talisman flared, revealing a fierce tiger enveloped in flames.
Flame Tiger, no, wrong. Its body was covered with bone-like sharp scales; it should be an Iron-Shell Flame Tiger, a first-grade top-tier monster.
Like cultivators advancing from Flexibility Spirit to Tribulation Transcendence through eight stages, monsters also have levels one through eight, each divided into lower, middle, upper, and top tiers.
Flexibility Spirit corresponds to level one monsters; Foundation Establishment to level two. This goes on...
So this monster’s strength is no less than that of a Flexibility Spirit peak expert.
Lin Xuan's expression turned bitter. It wasn’t some kind of illusion but the genuine soul of a tiger. More accurately, it was the soul of a tiger.
He hadn't expected his opponent to possess such an uncommon beast talisman.
A beast talisman is similar to an array talisman; both belong to special types of talismans. Ordinary paper talismans seal defensive or auxiliary spells.
Array talismans contain simple arrays.
Beast talismans are different, containing the souls of beasts, making them even rarer than array talismans because they aren’t made by ordinary cultivators but by experts in the Ghost Path.

Roar!
Despite being a soul, after special refinement by a Ghost Path cultivator, its power was no less than that of a real tiger.
"Go!"
Yan Tianheng waved his hand with a spell and the Iron-Shell Flame Tiger transformed into a red light, lunging at Lin Xuan with claws bared.
The situation was dire, but Lin Xuan remained calm. He activated the talisman in his hand and threw it upward...
